Ahh yeahhh

Only mildly for some more torque. Might remove the gasket, widen ports a touch, but not gonna add any timing. This poor girl is gonna live a terrible drudging toiling life of making huge chunks of filthy wood into smaller chunks of firewood.

Soon this bar will be hanging off of a 281. Ah yeahhh

We had burrito's with mojitos. Coz that's how I roll. I think if you do a google for 5100 muff mod, the 'other site' has some interesting threads and info.

You two get a room! AH yeahhh

Good lil machine the 330's

I figured out how to trip the breakers so I don't get stuck in it any more. AH yeahhh

Told you so. DO it, you'll like it. (Ah yeahh)

If your bearings don't slide right in, sometimes ya gotta pound yer wood in there. AH yeahh

Ahh yeahhh

ack! (added to lengthen message to 5 characters or more)

Ah yeahhh. Dats wut ahm talkin bout. Now ya see why I am in need of some semi chisel chain.

Stuff like this day in day out is what's gonna kill my 044 if I don't get a bigger saw shortly. And the estate is crawling with this stuff. I'm burning some of it right now. Lovely stuff.

I dunno. Maybe. But a stock 281 can easily push 200 psi from the factory. That, with a new bottom end, is gonna be a pain to start.

Best to drop it off here. You and your shoulder will thank me

I trust you'll let me know when you get another

The 850, 797, and 125 series are the best Macs in my opinion. But a modded 800 can run very well, too. I also like the 250 Supers, but gezuz they are heavy.

I usually run full chisel in clean wood, or if I intend to limb a lot and need the bite, and use semi chisel in dirty wood. Semi chisel will cut for a very long time in dirty wood vs full chisel. And semi chisel sharpened well cuts only a touch less than full now that Stihl and Husky both use micro chisel versions:

But they sound so good [ame] [/ame]

I got a photo somewheres... And the last get-together

Had an Oleo MAC homeowner type saw repaired today. I was very unimpressed with the build. 50cc I think. Opened up the muffler because it was hugely restricted. Still an unimpressive saw. Then had to fiddle with an OleoMAC strimmer. First impressions are they are junk compared to Stihl and Husky. Unfortunately, this one is ours.

Thot we were talking about using herring for fuel in an 066, no?

I just go to the chipper. Then I bring home the oil and use it as mix with my high octane racing fuels!

High octane is different than oil quality. Any saw benefits from using quality oil. Few saws benefit from using high octane fuel. Higher octane prevents detonation. It does not in itself bring more efficiency, power, or cleaner burning to the table. In my own tests, I had to bring the compression up in one of my saws(a Husky 444SE) to 245 psi, and then run it for several long cuts, before it started detonating. That is nearly 100 psi more than some saws come from the factory with. I brought the compression down to 225 psi and ran her on 94 Octane AKI( ~ 97 RON), and it won the PNW GTG competition for it's class. I currently have an 044 pushing 210 psi and run it straight off pump fuel(95 RON). I have her apart right now and see no signs of detonation. And much of it was with significantly timing advance. On AS, a friend of mine recently placed a stock 460 on the dyno and ran it on 92 octane AKI vs 100 AKI. Virtually no difference. The 100 octane was slightly lower in power(~.15 hp).

Shouldn't you be out pickling herring this time of year?
